 Scott Galupo reviews The Ornament of the World on National Review Online
The golden age of Andalusia began with the arrival in 755 of the exiled prince Abd al-Rahman, the last of the Umayyad dynasty overthrown by the Abbasid caliphate.
In Andalusia, Abd al-Rahman established a rival caliphate — an office that, in theory, derives its mandate from a connection to Muhammad or his family — to Baghdad, then (if you can believe it) a thriving metropolis.
What made Andalusia possible, Menocal says, is the ability to live with contradictions, the indispensable ingredient of a "first-rate" in F. Scott Fitzgerald's definition.

 France As "New Andalusia?" - Sean Hannity Discussion
President Jacques Chirac and Premier de Villepin are especially sore because they had believed that their opposition to the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003 would give France a heroic image in the Muslim community.
It is now clear that a good portion of France's Muslims not only refuse to assimilate into "the superior French culture," but firmly believe that Islam offers the highest forms of life to which all mankind should aspire.
One solution, offered by Gilles Kepel, an adviser to Chirac on Islamic affairs, is the creation of "a new Andalusia" in which Christians and Muslims would live side by side and cooperate to create a new cultural synthesis.

 Jihad Watch: Fitzgerald: The persistent myth of Andalusia
The myths about Islamic Spain (known collectively as the "myth of Andalusia") have their origins in the romantic writers of the early 19th century.
Just as Sir Walter Scott, venturing beyond Scotland, painted a completely fictional portrait of the "noble Saracens" tutoring the Christians in chivalrous behavior, so the myths of wonderful tolerant Andalusia owe their existence to two highly imaginative works by convincing writers: "Tales of the Alhambra" by Washington Irving and "Le Dernier des Abencerages" by Chateaubriand.
When the new mosque in Grenada was opened with on July 10, 2003, marking "a return of Islam to Spain," a conference was held in Granada at the same time.
